I see all of you out there that have successfully rooted your Droid Razr M (XT907) successfully, even with the latest Kit Kat 4.4.2 update. Time after time again I have downloaded and tried several different root programs and apk's and just like every time before, my device fails to root. It really bugs me because I am extremely tech savvy but yet I can't seem to figure this out. Can someone help me out????

Here's a good one for any devs. I have been fussing with this for 3 days and am at my wits end.
I noticed the other day there was a software update from VZW for my droid X. That night I get home launch ADB name all the renamed .apk bloatware back to normal, and DL & install the update.
After doing so I as expected lost root. No biggie I thought as I Had rooted my phone previously with little effort. Long story short after numerous attempts and now several different methods including z4, 1 click root, etc... I still am unable to regain root access, and am stuck with read only access to the file system.
I have posted on a coupe different forums with this query, and it seems to be a mixed problem. some are able to regain root, others are like me and locked out completely.
So.. the question here lies in this??? is there something VZW or Motorola have done with this update to disallow rooting, and if so is it possible to roll back my OS to stock 2.2 Froyo prior to this update? Alternatively does anyone else know of any tricks I may have overlooked in successfully rooting my DX.
Thanks in advance!!!
Same here. Tried z4 and onion root. Tried the terminal emulator method. Nothing works.

No, nothing they did. It happened because you accepted an OTA while rooted. Every root guide on here should tell you never to accept an ota when rooted, or you could permanently lose root.
i'm in the same boat as the poster. i accepted it while rooted, unrooted and then installed it. It appears i am locked out from rooting.

Hey guys,
Recently I tried to root my Motorola Droid Ultra using MotoRoot and the way it works is that you download it from xda dev. and side load the apk onto your phone. You then run the setup inside the app and then the phone is rooted. I am very familiar with the rooting process but the thing is whenever I try to install moto root it says application not installed and I have checked and made sure that I can install apps from unknown sources and sure enough I can. I tried installing the apk through ADB too but it still gives me the same message it says application not installed. I have even turned off verify apps but it still doesn't work I have also enabled developer options but still not budging same message every time. What am I doing wrong??? I need help.
Helpful info: This phone was purchased in Early December 2013 so it's pretty new but what happened was when I got the handset I tried to root it but it gave me the same message then 1 day later after I bought it the phone randomly shuts off and I can't even get into the bootloader or go into recovery so it was basically dead and there was nothing I could do about it so I went back to Verizon 2 days after I bought the original handset and they replace it with another droid ultra and everything works fine but I still can't root it :crying:

I'm having the same problem. I messaged jcase about it to see if he maybe had any answers as to how to fix these issues such as the failure to install or did not download messages. The was a quick and easy one as well that I had mentioned in the message. The response I got was useless. He told me he was **** with windows and easy guides so I should wait till someone makes a windows version of the hack so that I can download it and root... I have games and stuff that I want to hack and bloat I want to get rid of.. Now I'm being told that I need to wait on a windows version of the rooting system to be made so that I can do all this... Why hasn't anyone done this yet? Idk mang but I have the same problem as you and no one is making our lives easier. Hopefully someone else reads this and respond with something that is of help. Post here if you find any solutions and I'll do the same.
Are you on 4.2.2? If so, the only way to root at the moment is to follow the pwnmymoto steps 100% PERFECTLY. And when you say you tried using ADB do you mean you tried to push the files(pwnmymoto.jar + su) to your sd using ADB and then use telnet and all that fun crap? This link: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444954
Anyways, but if your phone's version is less than 4.2.2 I believe the app should install as a normal one would.

Don't attempt to root a phone until you've read the instructions completely. Things go easier if you read the entire thread, even if it takes a while.
Of course, it's important to read the beginning of the thread... like the first post, which says you must be on 4.2.2 (the camera update).
root.verizon motorola xt1080 4.4.4 without pc?
Is there any way to root my verizon motorola droid ultra xt1080 4.4.4 without a pc? I have tried at least 15 different applications that all claim to be able to unlock or root my phone but none were succedsful. The motoroot app tries to install but that doesnt seem to work either. Help help. These google play game notifications are pissing me off. Ive already cleared all of my apps to factory restore and changed all of settings with google and such. What can i do to unlock, jailbreak and/or root my damn phone? Sorry for the language. Im just frustrated

Sorry, but unless it's a dev edition there is no known root method for 4.4.4 with or without a pc.
I could rootear my phone droid xt1080 verison with the program kingroot using PC version only for a few minutes. but I served to remove very persistent malwares. I would love to unlock the bootloader to switch to cyanogenmod but it seems impossible. probe by many means. sorry for my bad English.
same... is there any other method to permanent root
I found the thread on confirmed Root for 9.30.1 of my Razr Maxx HD. Ive never done a root on android before. Is there a sticky or a thd detailinig how to do it on the new system? I want to make sure I download the correct files and install the correct apps before I start so I dont brick my phone. From what I read I can also install a ROM using safestrap?

BlurUpdater-vzw.apk is what you want to freeze or rename to .bak.
Here is good advice

I have a Razr HD MAXX on the latest software(Unfortunately), and it suffers from sudden hangs that last a few seconds, then it reboots(A hot reboot I think).
Now I thought this might be a software issue, but from what I saw the latest update doesn't have anyway to get unlocked which is required for a downgrade, not can I root to put a ROM, I couldn't find a solution on Google(From what I read on various forums, I hope I'm mistaken and that the available root methods work).
Anyone here has any helpful tips or any sort of way to fix these reboots? Is there a way to change the software that I didn't notice?

you can re-flash the current software, but other than that, there is nothing you can do.

On the Verizon and Motorola forums users also complain because of the .15 OTA destroyed mobiles. I think there should be a official recovery update, especially since they are already quite old devices.
I have the ZTE Rapido Lte from straight talk and was wondering if anyone has found a way to root this phone yet. I have tried program after program and no avail. I am on android 4.1.2. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
ZTE Rapido
I also just got this phone. I have been religiously trying different root methods. None have worked out for me. I've run out of answers. I imagine there is a dev out there somewhere trying to release a new rev of Framaroot that would cover this phone. As of rootandroid.com this is not rootable of yet. I am not used to having an unrooted phone and I hate not having root. I hope someone else replies so we aren't stuck in the grip and mercy of the manufacturer.
I just got one today, I tried a bunch of methods as well to no avail. If there is anyone that can help I can pull an image from the phone so that others with more technical expertise might be able to go over it and find a way to root it.
More specifically,what kind of image would be needed? Any statistical info is available on the manufacturers website. In the case of a system image, what process and software would be needed? i will image mine if I have a procedure to follow.
I'm very interested in this myself. I just got one a few days ago and am already missing my rooted and ROMed Droid X. Please someone save us.
Same here I have tried framaroot z4root towel root root master root genius poot and none worked. Someone please help

Damn.
I just bought this phone for my Mom--her first smartphone since Verizon is the only thing in her coverage area. She's having trouble with the ringtones being too flat and not loud enough on the device.
I was hoping someone would've figured out a root for this beautiful little prepaid ZTE so I could somehow increase her ringtone/alert volume level. Maybe I'll poke around with the phone next time I'm near it.
So far she can answer calls and get on Skype

Has anyone got root for ZTE Rapido LTE Z932L?
Any progress?
Just checking in to see if anybody had any progress on rooting the Z932L.
I haven't seen any posts online on any site of people making any progress or even talking about this phone anymore, but it would still be nice if it was rootable.
